1. Date: December 5, 2016

Title: When Not to Photograph

Conducted by: Prabir Purkayastha

Registration Fee: Rs 1000

Subject: Digital technology has gifted the pleasure of ‘pressing the shutter’ to everyone. So, how can serious practitioners & ardent students of photography stay afloat & thrive in the digital age? How do you ‘create’ a photograph vis-à-vis just take a picture? Between the multitude photography theories of ‘Do’s’ & ‘Don’t’s’ & countless reams of tutorials & ‘professional’ advice lies the grey world of ‘when not to photograph’. And, it is the exploration of this nebulous state, which every photographer faces, but rarely journeys into, which will, hopefully, help liberate the ‘mind’s eye’.

Title: Gaze-Ungaze: Street Photography

Conducted by: Parthiv Shah

Subject: A microcosm of the living world, ‘Street’ has always been an admired unsuspecting subject for photographers all around the world. In recent years, with the growing discourses around the 'appropriateness' of visual exploration and the development of easy technological access, 'street photography' has come to signify the dilemma between spontaneous art and ethical documentation. While familiarizing the participants with the aesthetics, the workshop will try to defamiliarize the conventions of 'street photography' by contextualizing the various socio-cultural aspects of the practice.
